Question

If Tim took one and a half day to complete a task taking a break of 6 hours in between, then for how many hours did he work?

• A. 48 h
• B. 24 h
• C. 36 h
• D. 30 h

Answer 1

The correct option is D 30 h

Time taken to complete the task = one and a half day
$1\text{day}=24\text{hours}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\text{a day}=24\times \frac{1}{2}\text{hours}=12\text{hours}\therefore \text{One and a half day}=(24+12)\text{hours}=36\text{hours}$

Since Tim took a break of 6 hours in between, the number of hours he took to complete the task is (36 - 6) hours = 30 hours.
